About Carol

Carol "Louise" Calder is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation and offers a calm, accepting presence for people who are nervous about starting therapy. Louise invites straightforward conversations and aims to make the first session as easy to manage as possible.

She typically helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those coping with relationship difficulties, motivation struggles, and confidence or self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

People bring a wide range of issues, from grief and trauma to anger and addiction, and she listens without judgement. Her approach is rooted in client-centred therapy, so sessions focus on what matters most to each person. The counsellor follows the client's lead, reflecting back thoughts and feelings and helping clients find their own ways forward.

This simple, respectful style suits people who prefer a conversational pace. Louise also works with issues related to attention differences, attachment patterns and mood disorders. She can talk with people about intimacy, eating concerns, bipolar symptoms, and feelings of isolation or low self-worth.

Her aim is to help people feel clearer about next steps. Starting therapy can feel daunting and she acknowledges that first step. Practical information and support are provided during early sessions to help clients settle into the process and plan realistic goals for change.

Ways of working Carol names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following the client's agenda. In practice this means the counsellor reflects thoughts and feelings back, helps clarify what matters most, and supports the client to make their own choices. This style is helpful for anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and issues where people need space to find their own answers.

Because the approach is collaborative, the counsellor and client review how sessions are going and adjust the method if needed. Together they decide whether to focus on immediate coping skills, explore past experiences, or build confidence and self-esteem. Finding the right combination of techniques happens step by step and is guided by the client's goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in suits. Live chat and messaging work well for people who prefer typing or need frequent, brief contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life and to keep continuity between sessions.
